As Christmas fast approaches, the City of Luxembourg has unveiled the 2018 edition of its Winterlights programme, featuring a Saint Nicolas-led procession on Sunday 2 December 2018 from 13:30.
As part of these festivities, Saint Nicolas will be making an appearance again this year, starting with a procession on 2 December 2018 through the streets of the capital. Saint Nicolas, surrounded by angels and escorted by the motorised police, will be accompanied by "Tramsmusek", snowmen, the "Li Marteling" dance school, scouts and young firefighters, cheerleaders, donkeys and the bogeyman.
Saint Nicolas will arrive by train at the Central Station at 13:30 when he will give a speech and distribute treats. The "Big Band Spectrum" will provide the music.
At 14:10, the procession will leave for Avenue de la Gare and Rue du Fort Bourbon, accompanied by music from "Tramsmusek" and "Drum n'Twirl Fanat X asbl".
At 14:20, they will arrive at Place de Paris, where music will be provided by the choir "Grënnësch Spatzen". At 14:25, the procession will visit the St. Nicholas and Advent Market and St. Therese Clinic until 15:20 when the procession will depart for the Place de la Constitution via Avenue de la Liberté.
This will be followed by a visit of the Christmas market there at 15:30, accompanied by music from the "Saxitude" ensemble. At 16.00 dancers from "Li Marteling" will perform before the departure of the procession at 16:05 towards Grand-Rue.
At 16:50, the procession will pass through Rue du Marché-aux-Herbes and Rue de la Reine towards Place Guillaume II, where they will arrive at 17:00, accompanied by a performance by cheerleaders of the City of Luxembourg. Here, sweets and speeches will again be given, followed by a reception at the City Hall.
The Cent Buttek team of volunteers will again support, as in previous years, the procession, notably by framing the angels of Saint Nicolas.
